DAY PLAY

ENHANCE YOUR PET'S QUALITY OF LIFE

Doggie Day Play at The Center will enhance your pet’s quality of life (and ultimately yours) as your canine companion develops the skills and confidence to better socialize with other dogs and people. Our day play resources are an excellent outlet for pets who are young, active, LOVE other dogs, display separation anxiety, or have destructive tendencies when left alone. Our trained Hospitality Attendants carefully monitor your pet while they play.

Is Day Play Right For Your Pet?

  • Does your dog react well to a variety of stimuli?
  • Does your dog easily disengage from people and other pets when overwhelmed?
  • Does your dog easily and consistently read the body language cues of other pups in a way that puts other pups at ease?

A yes to all or most of these might mean Day Play is a good fit for your pup.

  • Does your dog experience chronic pain or anxiety in new environments?
  • Is your dog afraid of other dogs?
  • Do you regularly see distance-increasing behaviors such as snapping, barking, or lunging when your dog is around other pets?

A yes to some or all of these might mean Day Play isn’t currently the right fit for your dog. Feel free to contact our staff or book an interview to discuss Day Play and other options.
